I just got a Land Pride GS1548 to maintain my gravel driveway, and I could use some advice on setting the depth for the front and rear blades since they can be set independently. The driveway is not in real bad shape, there are no potholes or deep ruts on either side of the center, but there are a lot of weeds and grass that keep growing back that I want to get rid of.
Since there are no potholes, I wasn't going to use the scarifiers, so I was thinking of starting with the front blade set to 1/4 inch below the skids, and if that doesn't do what I want then drop it down further. I'm unsure what to do with the back blade - is it best to set it at the same depth as the front, or should I set it even with the skids so it smooths the gravel scraped up by the front blade?
